Cowboys DE Charles Tapper: 'Right now I'm feeling better than I ever felt in my life'

Dallas Cowboys defensive lineman Charles Tapper recently joined ESPN radio's "J Dub City" with Jean-Jacques Taylor and Will Chambers to talk all things football. Here are some highlights of their interview:

How's the back injury?

Will Chambers: We saw last year and heard about the back issue. Just wondering 1) what happened there? And [2)], how are you now? Where are we at with the injury?

Charles Tapper: I have a birth defect, it's called 'L5 pars defect.' ... Me not being in the best shape coming to the Cowboys was what happened to me.
